While you should do everything that is in your power to influence the choice by your vote (according to your conscience), do not be afraid of the outcome!
What I am getting at is, that no matter what the political situation of our country - GOD IS IN CONTROL. And our job is to serve God in all circumstances. It is HIM we serve, not our country!
My human mother heart wishes that I could raise my children in freedom and teach them what I think is right and that my and their moral lifestyle would be rewarded and honored. But the more I read the Bible, the more I am aware that when we honor God, we will not be understood and honored in this world.
God is in charge of the universe. He will use many various ways to draw people to himself – sometimes quite the opposite of what we think. The cost of discipleship is high. The price is His precious blood. He stood by His people through wars, persecution, yes even communism.
Think about this:
The darker the night, the stronger our light!
Do not be afraid, cling to God. He will bring you through.
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33
